Abstract

A highly symmetric, dicationic tetranuclear calcium hydride cluster with an adamantoid [Ca₄H₆]²⁺ core stabilized by the NNN macrocycle Me₃TACN (1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) was prepared. DFT calculations indicate delocalized bonding within the [Ca₄H₆]²⁺ fragment with d-orbital contribution.
